When Soul Divider was on the top of the world, so was Ryder Maddox. When the band faded into obscurity, Ryder's luck plummeted with it. In a last ditch effort to rekindle the band's heyday, Soul Divider teams up with powerful vampire clan leader, Talis de Rancourt. In return for her services, the band pays the ultimate price for never ending fame.
Now on the run, Melanie meets Ryder in a middle of nowhere hotel. She never expected her teenage rock star crush to be as lost and as in need of a companion as she is. Their connection is all consuming, even before they find they share another kinship: murder.
The newly turned vampires in Soul Divider still have a lot to learn. The police and public begin to connect the girls that go missing or die in sync with the band's tour schedule. Back at home, clues are also adding up against Melanie as well. Between constant media coverage and unrelenting attention from the authorities, Melanie and Ryder find themselves in uncharted territory.

This Christmas isn’t about celebration for eighteen-year-old Kyndra, it’s about survival. Grieving the loss of her grandmother and struggling with the indifference of her family, Kyndra now splits her time between her dead-end mall job, her junkie ex-boyfriend’s bed, and the streets. Longing to be close to her grandmother one more time, she wanders into Christmas Eve mass and prays she’ll find the place she belongs. Home.
Aidan isn’t ready to let go of the past either, even though he’s had nearly three hundred years to do it. He chronicles the search for the reincarnation of his beloved wife as the vampire romance author Allison Duprois. Aidan knows the wife he mourns is out there, but fears writing their story is as close as he will get to her.
At Christmas Eve mass, he finally finds her. Alone, with no place to go.
Aidan brings Kyndra into his home, and gives her the safety, comfort and love she longs for. Though he gives her second chances she never thought she’d have, Kyndra still can’t get over Aidan’s mysterious past. Not to mention that he claims that he’s a vampire. Life alone on the streets is dangerous enough without handing her trust and love to the wrong person. Can Aidan break through the walls around Kyndra’s hardened heart to convince her that she belongs with him, forever?

A lot of names come up in this section over and over, but that’s because these people rock incredibly hard and make these books possible. Of course I have to start off with my writing partner, heterosexual life partner, and now editor Julie Hutchings. She makes sure these books are not only born but that wind up in a manner that’s suitable for public viewing. She also challenges me to spilt contests in the middle of my living room during our writing meet ups. (I win). Intern Sara Chaudhary is someone who’s come back into my life recently, but she is an OG rock girl. Sara and I met Bret Michaels on his bus long before Rock of Love, just sayin’. I’ve met some great friends and writers on Twitter, and they help make these books happen. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on and my biggest cheerleaders: Chynna-Blue Scott, Lydia Aswolf, Tammy Farrell, Melissa Petreshock, J Elizabeth Hill, JC Lillis, Jessica Collins, Candice Montgomery, Kristalyn Thornock, Kristen Jett, Jolene Haley, Laura Hughes, Mina Vaughn, Lori Castilleja, Eva Saur, Louise Gornall, and Karen Soutar. Also, metal horn fingers to Brian LeTendre for sharing my love of hair metal. Thanks to Wordsmith Publicity for helping me get my books out into the world, and you, for reading this book. Words don’t do what it means to me justice.
Kristen shares a birthday with Steven Tyler and Diana Ross. She spends each day striving to be half as fabulous as they are. She’s worn many hats, none as flattering as her cowboy hat: banker, retail manager, fledgling web designer, world’s worst cocktail waitress, panty slinger, now makeup artist and aspiring author. She loves sunshine, live music, the middle of nowhere, and finding new things to put in her house.
